The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Good morning, everyone, I am Professor Smith, and I am your laboratory instructor. This class is intended as a necessary part of the course, which Dr. James will be in charge of. This class will meet twice a week in this laboratory. It begins at nine. I expect you to be on time. I do not intend to wait for latecomers or repeat what has already been covered if you miss the explanation. Do not arrive late and interrupt your neighbor; you may as well not come if you can’t be on time.Attendance is equally important. If you miss three lab classes, your name will be moved away from the class list I’m afraid, no excuses. You can’t complete t he course without completing lab class.Safety is key here. It is very important to keep things neat and clean, dress properly, and be careful. You may not eat, drink or smoke in the laboratory and you should always clean the table top and wash your hands before and after the class. Long hair must be tied up. Large clothing must not be worn. And, finally, any laboratory accident must be reported immediately.I hope you’ll enjoy the laboratory. It’s a wonderful place but all these instructions are to be strictly followed. We will begin today by learning about the microphone.(Now listen again, please.)Questions：11.W ho is the speaker?12.W hat will happen if a student misses three classes?13.W hat should be done if long hair is worn?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.The idea of the weekend is a recent invention. In the 1870s wealthy people began to speak of spending weekends in the country visiting friends. For most people, however, the workday was six days long. It ended at about noon or later on Saturday.Automobile maker Henry Ford was the first major employer in the United States to establish a workweek of five days. He did that in 1926. Henry Ford thought that if the working people had more free time they would spend more money and it was something good for the economy.By 1940 it had become common for most Americans to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Today the lives of most Americans are organized that way: 5 days of work or school followed by 2 days of rest. For many people Saturday night is the highpoint of the weekend and the week. It is the night for going out or having fun.Anything and everything can happen on Saturday night. People go dancing, visiting friends and having parties. They drink too much alcohol. They get killed or kill other people. They sleep, watch television, and sometimes fall in love. People do these things on other nights of the week too, but they do them more often and with more emotion and purpose on Saturday night.On Saturday night movie theatres sell more tickets. It is also the biggest night for places that sellalcoholic drinks. That is one reason why Saturday night sees most murders, fights and deadly car accidents. (Now listen again, please.)Questions：14.When did people begin to have the idea of the weekend?15.Why did Henry Ford establish a workweek of five days?16.Why do murders, fights and car accidents occur mostly on Saturday nights?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Hey Joy, I forgot to register for the courses. I’m one day late, and most of the classes are full. You know, everybody is supposed to register at least one selective course every school term to graduate. What do you think I should do?W: Poor you, Jack! You can’t do anything about that. I’m really sorry for you.M: Well, Do you think going to the registration office will help now?W: No, they will tell you the same thing, perhaps in a worse way.M: By the way, did you register yet?W: Of course, I’ve registered three courses yesterday. And it wasn’t easy for me to register for International Trade. It’s so popular these days.M: What classes do you think are still open today?W: Maybe Modern History, and Chemistry. It was said these two courses were not that popular last year. M: Good information. I didn’t know that. Although those two courses are not my favourites, it’s really a helpful suggestion.W: Anyway, that could be a choice.M: OK, I know what to do. Oh, well... What do you think about mathematics? I want to take that class this school term.W: That will be good, too. I took that class last year. Professor Anderson is really cool! If you go to his office, you can have him write a card that will let you in, even if the class is full.M: He does that? Great! I’ll go and try my luck.W: I guess that’s because some people drop out of his class.M: That makes sense. I think I’ll do that.W: And I think you can also directly go and ask some other teachers whose classes you like better instead of the registration office.M: Yes, why not. Thanks for all the help.W: You’re welcome.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:17. What does this conversation mainly talk about?18. What course did the woman choose according to the conversation?19. What do you think will the man do in order to take mathematics?20. What must a student do in order to graduate according to the conversation?参考答案听力部分：1-5 D B A C D 6-10 C B A C A11-13 C B B 14-16 A D A17-20 C D C A语法：21.are treated 22. whose 23. others 24. because (since, as) 25. that26. whether (if) 27. extended 28. telling 29. to fix 30.

The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and a question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Text 1W: You waited at the newly opened restaurant yesterday, didn’t you? Was there much of a wait to be seated?M: I wish I had brought a book or something to occupy my time.Question: What does the man mean about the newly opened restaurant?Text 2W: Don’t you have your apartment key?M: No, but it’s a good thing I leave a spare with my neighbor so I can get in and get my books. Question: What will the man most probably do next?Text 3M: I don’t think we have enough information for our financial plan, but it’s due tomorrow.W: So we will just have to make do with what we have got.Question: What does the woman suggest they do?Text 4W: You’ve taken one of Dr. Parker’s tests, haven’t you? I hear they’re impossible to pass.M: I don’t know who you’ve been talking to. My experience was just the opposite.Question: What does the man imply?Text 5M: I’m really happy I got that athletic scholarship, but I wish my parents would stop showing off.W: If you ask me, I think you deserve a little bit of recognition.Question: What does the woman mean?Text 6M: What sort of grade did you get on your research paper? I know how hard you worked on it.W: But the professor said that I made too many broad claims that weren’t supported enough. Question: What does the woman mean about her research paper?Text 7M: Mary, do you think the dish needs any more salt before I serve it?W: It’s really quite nice. Why take a chance of ruining it?Question: What does the woman advise the man to do?Text 8M: Would you mind asking Julia to give me a call? I was hoping she’d be able to help out with course registration next week.W: Sure, if I see her. She’s made herself pretty scarce lately.Question: What does the woman mean?Text 9M: I just got this car, and already it’s falling apart. First, one of the door handles fell off, and now the inside light won’t go on.W: Hey, what’s the big deal? Falling apart is when your car needs a new engine like mine does. Question: What does the woman mean about the man’s car?Text 10W: I am thinking about spending my spring breaks skiing at central mountains. You were there last year. How was it?M: To be completely honest? That left a lot to be desired.Question: What does the man imply?Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear two passages and one longer conversation. After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Old people used to say it’s not what you want in this world, but what you get. Psychology teaches that you do get what you want. If you know what you want and want the right things, you can make a mentalblueprint (蓝图) of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house. For example, if we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list. And such planning is essential for any type of meal to be served. Likewise (同样地), if you want to find a job, write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services. This account of yourself is actually a picture of your working life and should include education, experience and references. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something concrete to sell, then you are ready to hunt for a job.Now, listen again.11. What do the old mean when they say it’s not what you want in this world, but what you get?12. What is the point of making a mental blueprint of a desire?13. According to the passage, why must one write in account of himself before starting to find a job? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Once a business has successfully introduced a new process. The parent organization (母体组织) naturally wants to repeat that success. The goal then is to use existing knowledge. It’s less attractive, but it actually happens more often. However, getting things right the second time is not necessarily any simpler than it was the first time. It seems that most large industries are trying to repeat their previous successes, but most of the attempts fail.So why do so few managers get things right the second time? Let’s consider one reason for failure. Placing too much trust in the people who are running the successful operation. Managers who want to apply existing knowledge typically start off by going to an expert. This approach can be used if you want to gain a rough understanding of a particular system or understand smaller isolated problems. The trouble is even the expert doesn’t fully grasp the whole thing. When it comes to complex systems, the expert never has complete access to all the necessary information. And the situation is complicated even further by the fact that experts are usually not aware of their own ignorance. For instance, some details may be difficult to describe, learned on the job and well known by workers, perhaps, but impossible to describe in a way that’s helpful. And there are some things that people know or do that they’re not even aware of. Now, listen again.14. According to the speaker, how do attempts to copy existing processes usually end up?15. What does the speaker say about asking experts for advice?16. Which of the following is a problem with experts?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: Welcome. We’re delighted you’re coming to work with us, Justin. Your first job here will be an assistant journalist. Do you have any questions?M: Can I go out on a story immediately?W: That’s admirable, but I’m afraid it would be unusual. Wait till you’re more experienced. First, we’ll put you as an assistant to an experienced journalist. Later, you can cover a story and present the article yourself.M: Wonderful. What do I need to take with me? I already have a notebook and a camera.W: No need for a camera. You’ll have a professional photographer with you. You may be able to concentrate on photography later if you’re interested.M: What do I need to remember? When I go out to cover a story?W: You need to be curious only if you ask many different questions. Will you acquire all the information you need to know? We say a good journalist must have a good nose for a story. That means you must be able to assess when people are not telling the whole truth and then try to discover it. They must useresearch to inform themselves of the missing parts of the story.M: What should I keep in mind?W: Here comes my list of dos and don’ts. Don’t miss your deadline. Don’t be rude. Don’t talk too much, but make sure you listen to the interviewee carefully.M: Why is listening so important?W: Well, you have to listen for detailed facts. Meanwhile, you have to prepare the next question, depending on what the person says.M: But how can I listen carefully while taking notes?W: This is a trick of the trade. If the interviewee agrees, you can use a recorder to get the facts straight. It’s also useful if a person wants to challenge you, you have the evidence to support your story.M: I see. I am looking forward to my first assignment now.Now listen again.17. What job is Justin trying to take up?18. What does a good nose mean for journalists?19. What will happen if journalists don’t listen carefully?20. Why are facts so critical to professional journalists?That’s the end of listening comprehension.听力试运转到此结束。

She won the 2015Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award of Excellence, (21) _____recognizes innovative business solutions to social problems— the same recognition given to Barack Obama in 2014.

This invention was the result of a ninth grade science project, but Makosinski‘ goal was (24)________(offer) a practical solution to people with unlimited access to power and electricity.― I‘m half-Filipino and half-Polish, and one of my friends from the Philippines told me that she failed school (25)_________ she couldn‘t afford electricity. She had no light to study with at night, so that was kind of the inspiration,‖Makosinski explained.―I‘ve always been interested in doing sc ience projects, so I thought, why don‘t I find a way to provide her and a lot of other people with light?‖The Hollow Flashlight is made from Peltier tiles（珀耳贴贴片）that produce energy when one side (26)______（heat）and the other side remains cool.

(21) (Create) a system that can routinely hire and prepare teachers effectively and can support successful teaching is the arena (竞技场) in which the United States (22) (fall) behind the most. Although there are some great teachers in every community, the landscape of the supports for quality teaching looks like Swiss cheese. In some states, the holes are smaller, and in others they are bigger. Nor in no case is there a fully (23) (develop) system of instructional support even remotely comparable to that in high-achieving nations. And of course, as we have seen, the system is the weakest in communities (24) students‘ needs are greatest.Some have argued that the answer to weak teaching in the United States id to eliminate ―barriers‖ to teaching, such as teacher education and certification requirements, allow anyone who wants to teach into the classroom, and fire those who prove not to be effective. Although the interest in teaching effectiveness is important, this approach does not offer strategy (25) (ensure) thatteachers will have opportunities to gain the knowledge and skills they need in order to be effective, or that all schools will have the resources to attract and hire the best teachers. (26) does it protect the students in low-income schools, who will be the victims of unprepared and inexperienced teachers in the years until these teachers have demonstrated their incapability and left the field.A regulation (27) (focus) on easy access and easy firing ignores the question of how to develop widespread teaching skills and ensure a strong supply of highly able teachers for schools.(28) such supply, principals will be unable to hire strong teachers even if they are free to hire whomever they are pleased with, and, evidence shows that schools are likely to fire weak teachers, (29) they feel they won‘t be able to replace them. Even if they do, there is little guarantee that the quality of teaching (30) (improve). although there are good reasons to argue for stringer evaluation practices for removing incapable teachers and for recognizing excellent ones, a theory that the major problems with teaching can be solved by carrots and sticks alone leaves the development of teaching abilities to chance.II.

She told a local broadcaster that she found it in the work‘s lower foreground. ―(23)_______(look) at the painting with the microscope，I came across the tiny body of a grasshopper covered in the paint, so it (24)_______ have occurred in the wet paint back in 1889.―We can connect it to Van Gogh painting outside, so we think of him battling the elements, dealing with the wind, the bugs, and then he‘s got to walk back to his studio through the fields.

He discovered that part of the insect‘s body was missing and there was no sign of movement in the surrounding paint. In other words, it was already dead (28)_______ it som ehow landed on the artist‘s wet canvas and could not be used for dating purposes.Van Gogh painted Olive Trees in 1889, the year after his falling out with his friend Gauguin, (29)_______ may have led to his famous act of self-mutilation in the history of art: cutting off his own ear.The grasshopper may not help in any art historical research but it has become a talking point for museum visitors, looking closely into the painting to see (30)_______ they can spot the dead insect.Ⅱ.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form ofthe given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blankHonesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential, or so I thought.I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科).

I stood （23）(look) at him as she gave a detailed history. "Has he lost any weight recently?" I asked, "Well, it's funny you should mention that, but yes." She said slowly. There was silence for a few moments. "Why? What are you worried about?" she asked. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told (24) the truth. "Well, we need to prove it's not cancer." I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.Half an hour later, a nurse called me: "Mr. McMahon's daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer." My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed (25) he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. "Why on earth did you do that?" she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and bit my lip. "She asked me what I was worried about and I told her." I said, hanging my head. "And give her more (26) (worry) about?" replied my consultant. "You don't say the word 'cancer' until it's confirmed. (27)you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people."(28) it turned out, it wasn't cancer. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they're sometimes selective in (29) they hear－and as a doctor it's important to be mindful of this.

Nationally, sales rose to 430,000 units last year, a 40-year high. At the inexpensive end, they sell for as little as $5,000 for a caravan (大篷车); deluxe versions cost up to $1,000,000 and are typically equipped with a bedroom,kitchen and bathroom that are bigger than ones in many European flats.

Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It‘s very likely that you‘ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization‘s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Let‘s begin with the question of why people volunteer. 67 For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory (义务的) volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people‘s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g., ―I volunteer because it‘s important to me‖) to an external factor (e.g., ―I volunteer because I‘m required to do so‖). When that happe ns, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. 68 Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. 69 The researchers note that attention should begiven to ―training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience‖.Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view ―volunteer‖ as an important social role. 70 Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as ―Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.‖ Consistent with the researchers‘ expectations, they found a positive relationship between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to defin ite advice: ―Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity.... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity‖.Keys:67-70: F B E CSection CDirections:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.necessarily true. If we had a crystal ball, we could guess what consumer behavior would be in the future if a minimum wage increase goes through. But you just can‘t.‖Keys:67-70 FDABSectionCDirections:Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each Blank. There are two extra statements, which you do not need.Nanotechnology Grows FastThanks to advances in technology, the science fiction of the past has become the―sciencefact‖of today, like the 1966 sci-fi Fantastic Voyage（《神奇旅程》）. In the film, a man with veryimportant knowledge was dying. The only way to save him was by using experimentalminiaturization technology. A number of scientists were shrunk to a tiny size and injected into theman‘s body to locate the source of the problem and save him.67Over the past severaldecades, the science of nanotechnology has been developing rapidly, and, just as in thefilm, it involves working with objects of a very small size.Something very similar to the medial procedure seen in Fantastic Voyage is already beingused to help save lives today. Tiny crystals known as―quantu m dots（量子点）‖，whose diametersare one thousandth of a human hair, are injected into the body of a cancer patient.68Upon findinga tumor, these quantum dots release their medicine, and then light themselves up tso that doctorscan see exactly where the cancer cells are.69 We may soon find our everyday lives being affected by it. Are you tired ofhaving to charge the batteries in your mobile devices? Soon, you don‘t need to. Scientists areworking on solar-cell vests that will absorb energy from the sun as you walk around and providepower for your devices.Eric Drexler, an author and scientist, believes that nanotechnology will lead to a new kind ofmanufacturing, one in which products are assembled atom by atom. By rearranging atoms, youcan turn one kind of molecule into another. For example, a wood molecule can be transformed into a metal molecule. If this is done many times according to a design, a large object such as an ax might eventually be created, just by rearranging atoms.70 .Although we have already seen its first practical applications, even more dramatic advances will be made in the future.Keys:67-70 AFECSection CDirections:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.As people recognize the dangers of fossil fuel plants, especially the risk of global warming from carbon dioxide production—nuclear power begins to look more attractive. But what about the waste—all that highly radioactive debris(残核) that will endure for thousands of years? Nuclear waste is one of the biggest technical issues that any future president is likely to face.______67________Plutonium(钚) has a half-life of 24,000 years. Even after 100,000 years, the radiation will still be above 10% of the level it had when it left the reactor.______68_________How can we possibly prove that this material can be kept safe for 100000 years?Still the US government persists in pursuing ―safe‖nuclear waste disposal(处理). It has created nuclear waste facilities buried deep within Yucca Mountain , Nevada. To keep the waste safe, the storage rooms are 1,000feet below the surface. _______69__________. It needs at least 2 square miles. The cost of the facility is expected to reach $100 billion ,with hundreds of billions of dollars more in operating costs. To make matters worse, earthquakes happen often in the Yucca Mountain region. More than 600 earthquakes of magnitude of 2.5 and higher have occurred within 50 miles in the last decade alone. Although that was millions of years ago, how sure can we be that the waste facility won‘t be torn apart by another eruption?________70_________ Why not just send the waste into the sun? Well, maybe that‘s notsuch a good idea, since on launch some rockets do crash back down to the earth. Some scientists have proposed that the waste be put in ships and sunk under the oceans. Yet just the fact that scientists make such suggestions seems to emphasize how the problem really is.Keys:67-70 ECDASection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.

These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets to vehicle models and action figures. And more than half of the sales came from millennials —people born between the 1980s and 2000s.―Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,‖ commented website Koreaboo. _______68_________ .According to Frederique Tutt, an analyst at NPD, the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of today‘s fast-paced world. They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by, say, getting a promotion, which is far less easy to achieve. ―It reminds me of the playful side of life,‖ Rob Willner, a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK, told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego, which he said brings him both comfort and entertainment._______69_________ To Frank Furendi, a professor at the University of Kent in the UK, the fact that so many adults are pursuing ―the thrills of youth‖ is the evidence that ―adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore‖, he told The New York Times. ―That‘s actually quite sad.‖________70________ According to Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane, collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality. ―It‘s just pop culture stuff. It‘s stuff that says, ‗I like a little of this and I like a little of that‘,‖ he told ABC News. ―It‘s no big deal.‖So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan, perhaps it‘s time to introduce a new ―fact‖, as stated in the tagline of the UK fashion brand KIDULT: ―Growing old is mandatory(强制的), but growing up is optional.‖Keys:67-70 DBFC\Section CDirections: Read the following passage carefully.

If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you'd take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn‘t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, orshared the same birthday.68 It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle she might someday join.It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success, Armed with this ambition, she wouldread novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. She‘d able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error focused. By practising in this way, site delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repealing, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream offeedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems-how do I get characters into a room-dozens and dozens of times. 69.The primaryquality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It's the ability to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine. The latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what we're "hardwired" to do. And it's true that genes play a role in our capabilities.70 We construct ourselves through behavior.Keys:67-70 FEC ASection CDirections: Read the following passage carefully.

To start a conversation, it is important to listen first, especially when you are in a group. Don‘t indulge（放纵）yourself in instant chant when you have just arrived.

Then he meets a dashing marine scientist who warns him off. The idea is that by the end of the drama, both he—and the listeners—will give up dynamite for sustainable fishing.The show‘s producer, the Population Media Center (PMC) in Vermont, has been a pioneer of programmes with the goal of fostering development. ___67___ In Vietnam Khat Vong Song uses radio drama to teach its listeners about domestic violence. In Kenya Mediae promotes civil rights with a television soap called ―Makutano Junction‖.Evidence that radio and television soaps can change behaviour was first spotted in the 1970s. ___68___ About twenty years later, economists at the Inter-American Development Bank, found that Brazilians receiving Globo, a television network promoting modern family concepts, had fewer children. Another follow-up study discovered that, as cable television spread, the birth rate in certain rural area dropped.Some argue that the influence was because couch potatoes were less likely to make babies. But research in Ethiopia showed that dramas can have a direct effect. Inquiries about ways to reduce birth rates rose by 157% among married women who listened to the soap operas ―Yeken Kignet‖ and ―Dhimbibba‖. ___69___ Male listeners sought tests for HIV/AIDS four times as much as male non-listeners.―The results are the best when people identify with characters,‖ says Betty Oala of the PMC.This is why the organization does extensive research, takes on local writers and uses native languages.Not only are soaps effective, but they are also cheap. Radio programmes can cost as little as three cents to reach a listener in Africa. ___70___ Although producers do not hide their purposes many scholars think that there could be a fight over morals and the aimful results of soap dramas.A drop in birth rates may seem like good news to a woman activist, but bad to a religious worker.Keys:67-70 FDAESection CDirections: Read the following passage.

Hint: You‘re not reading it.Chinese, Japanese and Korean use simpler number words and express math concepts more clearly than English. The language gap is drawing growing attention as confusing English number words have been linked in several studies to weaker counting and arithmetic skill in children in English-speaking countries.67 Among the researchers are Karen Fuson, a professor in the School of Educationat Northwestern University, and Li Yeping, an expert on Chinese math education at Texas A&M University.Chinese has just nine number words, while English has more than two dozen. The trouble starts at ―11‖. English has a unique word for the number, while Chinese (as well as Japanese and Korean, among other languages) have words that can be translated as ―ten-one‖– spoken with the ―ten‖ first. 68 .English number words over 10 don‘t as clearly label place values. Number words for the teens reverse the order of the ones and ―teens‖, making it easy for children to confuse, say, 17 with 71. As a result, children working with English number words have a harder time doingmulti-digit addition and subtraction (减法). 69 .It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the ―make-a-ten‖ addition and subtraction strategy. When adding two numbers, students break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For instance, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4. 70 .Many teachers in America have increased instruction in the make-a-ten method and called for first-graders to use it to add and subtract.Now, you should feel lucky that you are learning math in China.

Years ago, a woman was allowed five years to shape Ironically, this pani c about doing the right thing to produce the perfect child is probably the worst thing for the child and the parent. 68Here is why.First, it i s not harmful to children if their mothers work. Mothers who neglect their own need and abilities for the sake of their children do not benefit their children, their marriage or themselves.Second, there is no crucial moment or stage in early childhood in which a child‘s fate is determined forever. 69 Children are more flexible than that.Research also finds that some children who have had the best parental care and guidance later give in to drugs, addi ction, mental illness or violence. 70 Between the parents‘best efforts and theresulting child lie other factors: the child‘s nature, geneti cally influenced characters, e xperiences outside the family and the child‘s knowledge of events.

That figure might not have changed much, but in 2016, only 18% of clothing sold was plus-size, according to NPD Group, another research firm.Designers and retailers have long thought of the plus-size as high-risk. Predicting what these customers will buy can be difficult, as they tend to be more cautious about styles. Making larger clothes is more expensive; but higher costs for fabric cannot always be passed on to consumers. ___68___ ―We have money but nowhere to spend it,‖ says Krist ine Thompson, who runs a blog which has nearly 150,000 followers on Instagram.At last, that is changing. Fast-fashion brands, including Forever 21 and a fashion line sold in partnership with Target, a giant retailer, have expanded their plus-size collections. ___69___ Revenue in the plus-size category increased by 14% between 2013 and 2016, compared with growth of 7% for all apparel (服装). Takings (营业额) were $21.3 billion last year. Social media has played an important role in changing attitudes in the fashion business, says Madeline Jones, editor and co-founder of PLUS Model Magazine.Nonetheless, designer brands still hold back. ___70___ For those that are willing to take achance, several internet startups (创业公司) that deliver personally styled outfits to individuals, including plus-size women, offer data to ―straight-size‖ designers.Not all plus-size shoppers are convinced. Laura Fuentes, a hairstylist from Abilene, Texas, says that many upmarket (高端市场的) department stores still keep their plus-size clothing sections poorly organized, badly stocked and dimly lit, if they stock larger clothes at all. Yet such complaints should be taken with a pinch of salt (有所保留), says Ms. Thompson. ―We‘re nowhere near where we should be but we‘ve made progress,‖ she says.Keys:67--70: DBECSection CDirections: Read the following passage.

This year, the queues in front of the doors of ―Wanghong delicacies‖ were so dense that a cup of tea has been hyped to over 80 Y uan by scalpers (黄牛) and local bloggers even customized a one-day tour to eat in Shanghai.To a great extent, Wanghong phenomenon depends on merchants‘ business strategy. ______67______. Business also works on publicity. Before HEEKCAA‘s arrival in Shanghai, it has advertised through microblog, local life service and other self-media, which has generated a certain amount of heat among the public. Once people make the purchase, the ―sense of accomplishment‖ will urge some of them to show off at their Wechat moments, which is good for brand image. Also, when a product is quickly recognized by consumers, capitals will come in great numbers. The boost of capitals undoubtedly helps the subsequent publicity of the brand.______68______. In the Internet era, the spread of information is so fa st that it doesn‘t matter whether the tea tastes good or bad; it‘s just a matter of whether you ever drink it. There is a word for this behavior —―fomo‖, which means fear of missing out. Oxford University professor said this is not new. As social animals, humans have a strong desire to be part of a group, to be accepted, recognized, valued and remembered. A little baby cries for a hug and a child makes small trouble to get noticed. These behaviors are, in the eyes of sociologists, anxious for existence. It‘s just that social media today that make it easier for people to perceive other people‘s lives, and have a sense of loss not to join them when they know what others are doing.10-20 Y uan is the exchange value of milk tea, but it‘s the symbol value of the goods that encourages people to ―pull the grass‖. Just like the lipstick, mailbox and graffiti wall that have been on the list of Wanghong, people want to use relatively controllable spending to gain satisfaction from a moments‘ thumb up. ______69______.With the development of society, consumers are not just buying a product but its brand culture and quality of life, so the appearance of light consuming is inevitable. However, ―Wanghong economy‖ is always short-lived because this consumer group is changeable in affection. Consumers who come by ―physical attractiveness‖ will quickly vanish if there is no implicit value or connotation to support. ______70______. Besides, consumers should make rational consumption instead of just following the trend.Keys:67--70 FEBCSection CDirections: Read the following passage.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best f its the context.Our modern w o rking lives are ruled by the concept of competence(能力). The idea that lies behind competence is quite simple: that one can state w hat people should do in behavioral terms, and then 41 w hether a person has succeeded in meeting that task or not. We rarely have a second thought about w hether the idea of measuring and achieving competence is a good one or not. 42 , it is a debatable one.Humans do not learn or w o rk in w a ys that can be measured by the 43 of competence. Take the example of a bar ista w ho is being trained to make coffee. The job title of “bar ista” 44 a degree of skill in making coffee. How ever, baristas in large coffee chains are usually trained through 45 qualifications. One part of these qualifications is to produce a cup of coffee to meet a(n) 46 standard. It might have to achieve a certain taste and appearance. This might seem perfectly reasonable, but there are tw o reasons w h y such an approach to training baristas does not 47 .First, the production of a cup of coffee to a certain standard is a binary(二次元的) 48 . The baristas can either produce a coffee of a certain standard or they cannot. If they happen to produce the best cup of coffee in the w orld, it does not matter, as competence-based training does not rew ard outstanding performance. 49 , producing the w orst cup of coffee w ould be a fail in the same w ay as producing a cup just below the standard. In fact, competence is not interested in the process of producing a coffee at all----only the final b i nary outcome.Second, if the barista does produce a coffee to a certain 50 , competence is not interested in w hy the barista can do that. But humans are not machines that 51 produce binary outcomes. We have bodies and minds w h ich 52 through learning.Y et w e are increasingly forced to 53 competence in our schools and w o rkplace. We are not empty machines that simply produce binary outcomes. If w e w ant to be true human in our learn ing and our w orkplace, w e need to be 54 and special. Learning and innovation invo lve failure in aim i ng for something that is unusually good. Such things simply cannot be 55 by the standard of competence w h ere the mediocre(平凡的) is the gold standard.41. A. question42. A. As a rule B. predictB. As a w h oleC. measureC.

In 1757, hefled to England and began earning a living as an organist and later composer and conductor. In 1772, heconvinced his sister Caroline to join him as a singer. In their spare time the brother-sister team becameoccupied in astronomy.

Herschel struck fame in1781, w h en on March13th, he discovered the planet Uranus(天王星) w hileengaged in w ork aimed at determining stellar parallax( 恒星视差). This being the first new planetdiscovered since ancient times, Herschel, until then a mere amateur astronomer relat ively unknow n even inEng land, became w orld-famous. Adopting a historically proven strategy, Herschel named the new planetGeorgiumSidum, in honor of the then ruling English king George III. The trick w orked once again, asKing George III gave William and Caroline the titles of "The King’s Astronomer" and "Assistant to theking's Astronomer", an honor w hich came w ith a life's pension for both. In 1782 they moved to Bath, andshortly thereafter to Slough, and from this point on William and Caro line could devote themselves entirelyto astronomy. The Herschels w e nt on to discover tw o moons of Uranus in 1787.While Caroline became increasingly occupied w i th the search for comets at w h ich she w a s quitesuccessful. William became for a time interested in the Sun. Inspired by Wilson’s 1774 w o rk, he put forththe theory of sunspot, an opinion that continued to exist w ell into the nineteenth century. In 1800, hebecame interested in the solar spectrum (太阳光谱), and uncovered the first evidence for solar energyoutput outside of the visible spectrum, in w hat is now know n as the infrared (红外线). In 1801, hepublished tw o papers that effectively started the field of solar influ e nces on Earth’s w e ather.56.

This w as an inside job,according to court documents. A low ly help-desk w orker at Teledata Communications, a softw are firm that helps banks access credit reports online, alleged ly stole passw ords for those reports and sold them to a group of 20 thieves at $60 a pop. That allow ed the gang to cherry-pick consumers w ith good credit and apply for all kinds of accounts in their names. Cost to the victims: $3 million and rising.Even scarier is that this, the largest identity-theft bust to date, is just a drop in the bit bucket. More than 700,000 Americans have their credit hijacked every year. It's one of crime's biggest grow th markets. A name, address and Social Security number --w hich can often be found on the Web--is all anybody needs to app ly for a bogus line of credit. Credit companies make $1.3 trillion annually and lose less than 2% of that revenue to fraud, so there's little financial incentive for them to make the application process more secure. As it stands now, it's up to you to protect your ident i ty.The good new s is that there are plenty of steps you can take. Most credit thieves are opportunists, not w ell-organized gangs. A lot of them go Dumpster diving for those millions of "pre-approved" credit-card mailin gs that go out every day. Others steal w allets and return them, taking only a Social Security number. Shredding your junk mail and leav ing your Soc ial Security card at home can save a lot of agony later.But the most effective w a y to keep your identity clean is to check your credit reports once or tw ice a year. There are three major credit-report outfits: Equifax (at ), Trans-Union () and Experian (). All allow you to order reports online, w hich is a lot better than w ading through voice-mail hell on their 800 lines. Of the three, I found TransUnion's w ebsite to be the cheapest and most comprehensive--lay ing out state-by-state prices, rights and tips for consumers in easy-to-read fashion.If you're lucky enough to live in Co l orado, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey or V ermont, you are entitled to one free report a year by law. Otherw ise it's going to cost $8 to $14 each time. A void services that offer to monitor your reports year -round for about $70; that's $10 more than the going rate among th ieves. If you think you're a victim of ident ity theft, you can ask for fraud alerts to be put on file at each of the three credit-report companies. Y ou can also dow nload a theft-report form /idtheft, w hich, along w ith a local po lice report, should help w hen irate creditors come knocking. Just don't expect justice. That audacious help-desk w o rker w a s one of the few e r than 2% of identity thieves w h o are ever caught.63. The expression “inside job”(Line 2, Paragraph 1) most probably means .A. a crime that is committed by a person w o rking for the victimB. a crime that should be punished severelyC. a crime that does great harm to the victimD. a crime that poses a great threat to the society64. The creditors can protect their identity in the follow i ng w a y except .A. destroying your junk mailB. leav i ng your Social Security card at homeC. visiting the credit-report w e bsite regularlyD. obtaining the free report from the government65. It is easy to have credit-theft becauseA. More people are using credit service.B. The application program is not safe enough.C. Creditors usually disclose their identity.D. Creditors are not careful about their ident i ty.66. The best title of the text isA. The danger of credit-theftB. The loss of the creditorsC. How to protect your good nameD. Why the creditors lose their identitySection CDirections: Read the passage caref u lly. Fill in each blank with a proper seen given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there aret»o sentences than you need.A. When you are done w i th your task then rew a rd yourself.B. Make sure you only rest for 10 minutes.C. Or you can w o rk harder and start an even bigger project.D. Set a kitchen timer and say to yourself that you only have to do this w o rk for 10minutes.E. When you sort papers，do the laundry or do the dishes, be fully there.F. Y ou don't alw a ys have to do just one thing at a time in silence.Ways to Be More EfficientNot all tasks of the day are inspiring. But you still have to w ash those dishes and take care of those routine tasks at w ork or in school. So w hat can you do not to get lost in procrastination( 拖延)?I’ll share how I do it, how I get some motivation and find more pleasure in w h at may seem to be a boring task.Instead of focusing your mind on how boring a task may feel, focus on your thought on w hy you are doing this and how good it w ill feel w hen you are done w ith it. If needed, sit dow n for a few minutes, close your eyes and see in your mind. Then go to w ork w ith that motivation and those positive feelings in your body.Do it attent i vely. 67 Focus 100% on just the w o rk w i th all your sense-how it feels, looks, and smells –as you are scrubbing it and nothing else. Don’t get lost in daydreams. If you are just there, I have found that even such a simple task becomes more enjoyable and something that can bring inner calm rather than distress.Make a deal w i th yourself and set a timer for 10 minutes. It is often easier to do task like these in small bursts. So make a deal w ith yourself to just spend 10 minutes on your reading or cleaning the house. 68 When the timer rings you can continue doing it if feel like it (this often happens to me because getting started is the hard part) .Or you can stop and go do something more interesting instead.Create a pleasurable d i straction. If possible，try to listen to the radio，your favorite songs，an audio book or w a tch a movie or TV episode w h ile doing your boring task.69 I often listen to music or w a tch an episode of the Simpsons w h ile doing the dishes or other routine w o rk at home.70 Take a w alk in the sun. Move on to more fun or creative task at w ork or in school. Have a tasty treat. This habit can make it easier to get started and to keep going each day. Because you know that you can look forw ard to not just being done and the long-term payoff from that but also your immediate rew a rd right after you are finished.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the f o llowing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own wo r ds as f a r as possible.Clearly if w e are to participate in the society in w hich w e live, w e must communicate w ith other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If w e travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, w e are likely to have conversations w here w e give information or opinions, receive new s or comment and very likely have our view s challenged by other members of society.Face-to face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last tw o hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of current society. Tw o things, above others, have caused the enormous grow th of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiv eness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and televis ion. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local new s often takes a back seat to national new s, w h ich itself is often almost eclipsed (失去优势) by international new s.No longer is the possession of information restricted to a w ealthy minority. In the last century the w ealthy man w ith his ow n library w as indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago, people used to go to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to w a tch a program that is being channeled into m i llions of homes.Communication is no longer merely concerned w i th the transmission of information. The modem communication influ ences the w ay, people live in society and broadens their horizons by allow ing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all information, education and entertainment, The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all invo l ved w i th informing, educating and entertaining.V.T ranslationDirection:Translate the f o llowing sentence into English,using the words given in the brackets. 72. 应该采取措施阻止新病毒的蔓延。

At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.1.M: How long can I keep the books?W: Three weeks. Then you’ll have to pay a fine for each day when they are overdue.Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?2. M: Sorry to trouble you. May I have a blanket please?

W: Have you been wasting your time on those online games again?M: Not really. I’ve worked on my term paper a lot this week and I need a break.Q: What is the man doing now?4. M: I often have some soup to start with. For my main course I prefer beef and chicken.W: That must be very expensive, but they are excellent.Q: What does the woman think of the man’s meal?5. W: We’re planning a trip to Hainan Island this winter vacation. Want to join us?M: I’d love to, but I’ll be working full-time in a restaurant.Q: What will the man do during the winter holidays?6.W: Could you help me withdraw 10,000 dollars from my saving account?M: I’m sorry, you will have to step over to the manager’s desk.Q: What does the man mean?7. M: Gardening is too much like hard work for me. If I have time, I like to play tennis or go for a countrywalk.W: Well, I think of gardening as play, not as work. I’m never as happy as when I’m busy in the garden.Q: What can we learn about the man?8. M: Why are you giving me a ticket for speeding, officer? I was only on 50.W: Can’t you read?

The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Hello, everyone. My name is Karl Roberts, and I’ll be your teacher of this course, Language and Culture.To begin with, please take a look at the teaching program in front of you. As you should all know by now, this course is given on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00 to 4:30 in the afternoon. We will be meeting in this room for the first half of the course, but we will be using the research lab every other week on Friday in Room 405 during the last two months of the course.This is the text for this lesson. Unfortunately, the books haven’t come in yet, but I was told that you should be able to buy them at the bookstore the day after tomorrow. Again as you see on your course outline, the grade is determined by your performance in the mid-term and final exams, classroom tests, and on your research work.My office hours are from 9:00 to 12:00 on Wednesdays, and you can set up a date with me on other times as well. (Now listen again, please.)Questions:11. When will the first half of the course be delivered?12. How often will the class meet in the research lab?13. What might NOT be closely related to on e’s grades according to the passage?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Despite its widespread and negative impact, the current economic situation may perhaps help one particular group of people — the young generation.Teens should learn the basics of proper financial management: maintaining a savings/checking account, and having a clear understanding of interest rates. Parents are always important in teaching money management, as well as the values of hard work and perseverance.It is also suggested that teens should become their own financial managers. Learning how to maintain a budget, comparing prices before buying something, or even paying a bill quickly are things that allow teens to become financially independent. Parent-child communication on financial matters must always be open. After going away to college, the student must learn to take control of his/her monetary situation and become his own accountant.Perhaps American businessman Warren Buffett said it best when he stated that, “Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.”The nation’s economic crisis today is proof that we cannot afford to allow a generation to grow up without understanding how to look after their money.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:14. Who can help to teach children the basics of financial management according to the passage?15. What should a college student learn to do according to the passage?16. What is this passage mainly about?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: You should have seen the line at the housing office. It took me an hour to make my dormitory deposit for next year. Have you made yours yet?W: No, I am not sure I am going to.M: There is not much time left. The deadline is May 1st. That’s just two weeks from now. Are you short of cash?W: No, I am okay.M: You’d better hurry up if you want a dormitory next September. There aren’t enough rooms for everyone.And first-year students have priority.W: Well, I’ve been thinking of living off campus.M: Have you any idea how much that will cost? There’s the rent, public facilities, and you probably need a car to commute.W: I know it will be more expensive, but I think I can handle it, though. This dorm is just so noisy that I can’t get anything done. Maybe my grades would be better if I had some peace and quiet in a place of my own.M: You should study in the library the way I do. Think of the money you will save.W: I’ve got to think it over some more. There are still two weeks left in April.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:17. In what month is the conversation taking place?18. What must a person do in order to live in university housing?19. Why is the woman unwilling to live on campus?20.

After two hours, they still hadn’t found the watch. Tom was desperate. Then one grandson said he would look around the basement again, but the others could not follow him and should keep silent. The little boy went down to the basement and sat in total silence. Ten minutes later, he brought his grandfather’s watch to him. Tom couldn’t believe what was happening.

The brains of the mice also show similar changes what occur to depressed people. Artificial light at night, like televisions, computer screens and night lights have been linked to other negative health effects. Night-time lighting can disturb the body’s clock and increase the risk of overweight and certain diseases. The good news is that the signs of depression in the mice went away after they went back to a regular sleep schedule (that is 84 hours of darkness at night). This means that by unplugging the electronics and closing the window curtains in your bedroom, you may be able to undo some of the harmful effects of your smartphone letting out light all night.11. What happened to the mice after they were exposed to the artificial light at night for weeks?12. Which of the following will most probably disturb your body’s clock?13. What are recommended to do at night according to the research?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Here is the good news: global poverty has followed by half over the past decade. But here is the bad news: 71% of the world’s population remain s low-income or poverty. They live off 10 dollars or less a day according to a new Pure Research Centre report that looks at the changes of income for 111 countries between 2001 and 2011. Unlike America where the middle-class has been facing difficulty in recent years, some researchers say that strong economic growth in developing countries has helped shrink poverty and expand the middle class globally. But the report from the centre disagrees, saying that the global middle class is far from reality. True, the global middle class nearly doubled over the decade to 13% in 2011, but is still represents a small part of the world’s population. Professor Recashe Kochler, associate director at the centre said “The world has made tremendous progress in pulling people out of poverty, but most of the growth has been limited. People are potentially one step away from slipping back into poverty.”14. What does the passage mainly tell us?15. Which of the following statement is true according to the Pure Research Centre Report?16. Which of the following worries Professor Recashe Kochler at the centre?Questions 17 to 20 are based on the following conversationM: Charger Cable. Can I help you?W: Yes, quite. We have an emergency. Our TV went out in the middle of our favorite show—American Idol.M: I’m sorry to hear that, ma’m. Can I have your name and account number please?W: Yes, it’s Guin Steppania and my account number is 854452.M: Can you give me the last four digits of your social security number?W: It’s 0253.M: Okay, our system is showing that there is strong thunder strike in your area. Did you hear noise when it went on?W: Yes, we heard loud noise.M: Oh, your TV could have been struck by lightening. Is the TV still on?W: Yeah, it’s on but the screen is all blank.M: Okay. Please turn the TV off until one of our technicians come out and take a look at it.W: Can someone come right now to fix it?M: I don’t think so, ma’m. Let me check our co mputer systems.

Reading Comprehension（45分）Section A（每题1分，共15分）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Our modern working lives are ruled by the concept of competence(能力). The idea that lies behind competence is quite simple: that one can state what people should do in behavioral terms, and then 41 whether a person has succeeded in meeting that task or not. We rarely have a second thought about whether the idea of measuring and achieving competence is a good one or not. 42 , it is a debatable one.Humans do not learn or work in ways that can be measured by the 43 of competence. Take the example of a barista who is being trained to make coffee. The job title of “barista” 44 a degree of skill in making coffee. However, baristas in large coffee chains are usually trained through 45 qualifications. One part of these qualifications is to produce a cup of coffee to meet a(n) 46 standard. It might have to achieve a certain taste and appearance. This might seem perfectly reasonable, but there are two reasons why such an approach to training baristas does not 47 .First, the production of a cup of coffee to a certain standard is a binary (二次元的) 48 . The baristas can either produce a coffee of a certain standard or they cannot. If they happen to produce the best cup of coffee in the world, it does not matter, as competence-based training does not reward outstanding performance. 49 , producing the worst cup of coffee would be a fail in the same way as producing a cup just below the standard. In fact, competence is not interested in the process of producing a coffee at all—only the final binary outcome.Second, if the barista does produce a coffee to a certain 50 , competence is not interested in why the barista can do that. But humans are not machines that 51 produce binary outcomes. We have bodies and minds which 52 through learning.Yet we are increasingly forced to 53 competence in our schools and workplaces. We are not empty machines that simply produce binary outcomes. If we want to be true human in our learning and our workplaces, we need to be 54 and special. Learning and innovation involve failure in aiming for something that is unusually good. Such things simply cannot be 55 by the standard of competence where the mediocre (平凡的) is the gold standard.41.

A. judged B. achieved C. restored D. presentedSection B（每题2分，共22分）Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)William Herschel was born on November 15th, 1738 in Hanover in a family of musicians. In 1757, he fled to England and began earning a living as an organist and later composer and conductor. In 1772, he convinced his sister Caroline to join him as a singer. In their spare time the brother-sister team became occupied in astronomy. William died at his home in Slough, near Windsor on August 25th,1822, and Caroline on September 1st,1848.Herschel’s first major discoveries were to show that Mars and Jupiter exhibit axial rotation (绕轴自转). Herschel struck fame in 1781, when on March 13th, he discovered the planet Uranus (天王星) while engaged in work aimed at determining stellar parallax (恒星视差). This being the first new planet discovered since ancient times, Herschel, until then a mere amateur astronomer relatively unknown even in England, became world-famous. Adopting a historically proven strategy, Herschel named the new planet Georgium Sidum, in honor of the then ruling English king George III. The trick worked once again, as King George III gave William and Caroline the titles of “The King’s Astronomer” and “Assistant to the King’s Astronomer”, an honor which came with a life’s pension for both. In 1782 they moved to Bath, and shortly thereafter to Slough, and from this point on William and Caroline could devote themselves entirely to astronomy. The Herschels went on to discover two moons of Uranus in 1787.While Caroline became increasingly occupied with the search for comets at which she was quite successful, William became for a time interested in the Sun. Inspired by Wilson’s 1774 work, he putforth the theory of sunspot, an opinion that continued to exist well into the nineteenth century. In 1800, he became interested in the solar spectrum (太阳光谱), and uncovered the first evidence for solar energy output outside of the visible spectrum, in what is now known as the infrared (红外线). In 1801, he published two papers that effectively started the field of solar influences on Earth’s weather.56. Herschel made himself known to the world mainly by __________.A. discovering the planet UranusB. determining stellar parallaxC. discovering two moons of UranusD. uncovering the evidence for the infrared57. It can be inferred from the passage that George III __________.A. liked science and technologyB. liked Herschel’s naming of the new planetC. was interested in astronomyD. gave Herschel a lot of useful suggestions58. What do we know about Caroline from the passage?A. She was successful in music.B. She was titled “The King’s Astronomer”.C. She died later than her brother.D. She published two papers.59. This passage mainly tells readers .A. some information about Herschel and his sisterB. how Herschel and his sister discovered the planet UranusC. Herschel and Caroline got along well with each otherD. Herschel and Caroline’s major scientific publications(B)OSCAR THEATRE60. When booking by post, you can pay for a ticket by __________.

What benefit can bookers enjoy according to the text?A. A group of ten adults going to a performance can claim a discount.B.

Theatre-goers who are unexpectedly unable to be present at a performanceD. Anyone who buys tickets an hour before a performance begins(C)Here’s the scary thing about the identity-theft ring that the feds cracked last week: there was nothing any of its estimated 40,000 victims could have done to prevent it from happening. This was an inside job, according to court documents. A lowly help-desk worker at Teledata Communications, a software firm that helps banks access credit reports online,allegedly (据说）stole passwords for those reports and sold them to a group of 20 thieves at $60 a pop. That allowed the gang to cherry-pick consumers with good credit and apply for all kinds of accounts in their names. Cost to the victims: $3 million and rising.Even scarier is that this, the largest identity-theft bust to date, is just a drop in the bit bucket. More than 700,000 Americans have their credit hijacked every year. It’s one of crime’s biggest growth markets. A name, address and Social Security number--which can often be found on the Web--is all anybody needs to apply for a bogus（伪造的）line of credit. Credit companies make $1.3 trillion annually and lose less than 2% of that revenue（收入）to fraud, so there’s littlefinancial incentive for them to make the application process more secure. As it stands now, it’s up to you to protect your identity.The good news is that there are plenty of steps you can take. Most credit thieves are opportunists, not well-organized gangs. A lot of them go Dumpster diving for those millions of “pre-approved” credit-card mailings that go out every day. Others steal wallets and return them, taking only a Social Security number. Shredding your junk mail and leaving your Social Security card at home can save a lot of agony later.But the most effective way to keep your identity clean is to check your credit reports once or twice a year. There are three major credit-report outfits: Equifax (at ), Trans-Union () and Experian (). All allow you to order reports online, which is a lot better than wading through voice-mail hell on their 800 lines. Of the three, I found TransUnion’s website to be the cheapest and most comprehensive--laying out state-by-state prices, rights and tips for consumers in easy-to-read fashion.If you’re lucky eno ugh to live in Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey or Vermont, you are entitled to one free report a year by law. Otherwise it’s going to cost $8 to $14 each time. Avoid services that offer to monitor your reports year-round for about $70; that’s $10 more than the going rate among thieves. If you think you’re a victim of identity theft, you can ask for fraud alerts to be put on file at each of the three credit-report companies. You can also download a theft-report form at /idtheft, which, along with a local police report, should help when irate creditors come knocking. Just don’t expect justice. That audacious help-desk worker was one of the fewer than 2% of identity thieves who are ever caught.63. The expression “inside job”(Line 2, Paragraph 1) most probably means _________.A. a crime committed by a person working for the victimB. a crime that should be punished severelyC. a crime that does great harm to the victimD. a crime that poses a great threat to the society64.You can protect your identity in the following way except _________.A. destroying your junk mailB. leaving your Social Security card at homeC. visiting the credit-report website regularlyD. obtaining the free report from the government65. It is easy to have credit-theft because .A. More people are using credit serviceB. The application program is not safe enoughC. Creditors usually disclose their identityD. Creditors are not careful about their identity66.The best title of the text is .A. The danger of credit-theftB. The loss of the creditorsC. How to protect your good nameD. Why the creditors lose their identitySection C （每题2分，共8分）Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Ways to Be More EfficientNot all tasks of the day are inspiring, fun or exciting. But you still have to wash those dishes and take care of those routine tasks at work or in school. So what can you do not to get lost in procrastination (拖延) ?I’ll share how I do it, how I get some motivation and find more pleasure in what may seem to be a boring task.Instead of focusing your mind on how boring a task may feel, focus your thoughts on why you are doing this and how good it will feel when you are done with it. If needed, sit down for a few minutes, close your eyes and see in your mind. Then go to work with that motivation and those positive feelings in your body.Do it attentively. 67 Focus 100% on just the work with all your senses—how it feels, looks and smells—as you are scrubbing it and nothing else. Don’t get lost in daydreams. If you are just there, I have found that even such a simple task becomes more enjoyable and something that can bring inner calm rather than distress.Make a deal with yourself and set a timer for 10 minutes. It is often easier to do tasks like these in small bursts. So make a deal with yourself to just spend 10 minutes on your reading or cleaning the house.68 When the timer rings you can continue doing it if you feel like it (this often happens to me because getting started is the hard part). Or you can stop and go do something more interesting instead.Create a pleasurable distraction. If possible, try to listen to the radio, your favorite songs, an audio book or watch a movie or TV episode while doing your boring task. 69 I often listen to music or watch an episode of the Simpsons while doing the dishes or other routine work at home.70 Take a walk in the sun. Move on to a more fun or creative task at work or in school. Have a tasty treat. This habit can make it easier to get started and to keep going each day. Because you know that you can look forward to not just being done and the long-term payoff from that but also your immediate reward right after you are finished.IV. Summary Writing （10分）Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.Face-to face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of current society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception ofcommunications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed (失去优势) by international news.No longer is the possession of information restricted to a wealthy minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago, people used to go to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into millions of homes.Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining.V. Translation （15分，3+3+4+5）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.71. 应该采取措施阻止新病毒的蔓延。

The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Good morning, everyone, I am Professor Smith, and I am your laboratory instructor. This class is intended as a necessary part of the course, which Dr. James will be in charge of. This class will meet twice a week in this laboratory. It begins at nine. I expect you to be on time. I do not intend to wait for latecomers or repeat what has already been covered if you miss the explanation. Do not arrive late and interrupt your neighbor; you may as well not come if you can’t be on time.Attendance is equally important. If you miss three lab classes, your name will be moved away from the class list I’m afraid, no excuses. You can’t complete the course without completing lab class.Safety is key here. It is very important to keep things neat and clean, dress properly, and be careful. You may not eat, drink or smoke in the laboratory and you should always clean the table top and wash your hands before and after the class. Long hair must be tied up. Large clothing must not be worn. And, finally, any laboratory accident must be reported immediately.a wonderful place but all these instructions are to be strictlyI hope you’ll enjoy the laboratory. It’sfollowed.

In the 1870s wealthy people began to speak of spending weekends in the country visiting friends. For most people, however, the workday was six days long. It endedat about noon or later on Saturday.Automobile maker Henry Ford was the first major employer in the United States to establish a workweek of five days. He did that in 1926. Henry Ford thought that if the working people had more freetime they would spend more money and it was something good for the economy.By 1940 it had become common for most Americans to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Today the lives of most Americans are organized that way: 5 days of work or school followed by 2 days of rest. Formany people Saturday night is the highpoint of the weekend and the week. It is the night for going out or having fun.Anything and everything can happen on Saturday night. People go dancing, visiting friends and having parties. They drink too much alcohol. They get killed or kill other people. They sleep, watch television, and sometimes fall in love. People do these things on other nights of the week too, but they do them more oftenand with more emotion and purpose on Saturday night.On Saturday night movie theatres sell more tickets. It is also the biggest night for places that sell alcoholic drinks. That is one reason why Saturday night sees most murders, fights and deadly car accidents.(Now listen again, please.)Questions：14.When did people begin to have the idea of the weekend?15.Why did Henry Ford establish a workweek of five days?16.Why do murders, fights and car accidents occur mostly on Saturday nights?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Hey Joy, I forgot to register for the courses. I’m one day late, and most of the classes are full. You k everybody is supposed to register at least one selective course every school term to graduate. What doyou think I should do?W: Poor you, Jack! You can’t do anything about that. I’m really sorry for you.M: Well, Do you think going to the registration office will help now?W: No, they will tell you the same thing, perhaps in a worse way.M: By the way, did you register yet?W: Of course, I’ve registered three courses yesterday. And it wasn’t easy for me to register for Intern Trade. It’s so popular these days.M: What classes do you think are still open today?W: Maybe Modern History, and Chemistry. It was said these two courses were not that popular last year.really aM: Good information. I didn’t know that. Although those two courses are not my favourites, it’s helpful suggestion.W: Anyway, that could be a choice.M: OK, I know what to do. Oh, well... What do you think about mathematics? I want to take that class this school term.W: That will be good, too. I took that class last year. Professor Anderson is really cool! If you go to his office, you can have him write a card that will let you in, even if the class is full.M: He does that? Great! I’ll go and try my luck.W: I guess that’s because some people drop out of his class.M: That makes sense. I think I’ll do that.W: And I think you can also directly go and ask some other teachers whose classes you like better instead of the registration office.M: Yes, why not. Thanks for all the help.W: You’re welcome.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:17. What does this conversation mainly talk about?18. What course did the woman choose according to the conversation?19. What do you think will the man do in order to take mathematics?20.
